Brass thing with star on front

[peanut]

Anyone know what this could be its about the size of a silver dollar, has thin brass over iron?

 

[johnnyi]

could be a bridle rossette

It was found close to what I believe to be a bayonet scabberd tip.

Texas or Mississipi rossette? JAG

Dang. Texas or Mississipi rossette eh?

Do you think it could be?

Do you think it could be?

Nah. Imaginations run wild when there is an item posted that has a single star on it.


My bet is civilian rosette Unless dug from a CW site that has a record of Texas or Miss. troops in it. (This is where research and provenance comes in.)



Does it have a lead back with an iron attachment, or is the back solid iron?

The back is iron. It has two little holes in the iron like it was attached to something. Do you know if the other pic is a scabbarde tip?

Yes, it looks like a scabbard tip.

Buckleboy, are you sure it's a scabbard tip? Although it seems to be a tapered shape, those two small rivets next to each other bother me, as they serve no function to hold the thing together, nor does it make sense to me that they would be so closely spaced to attach to the scabbard itself. I have a feeling this is something else, but we need more pictures.

I see--good eyes, johnnyi! First time I looked I thought it was all corrosion... I haven't seen a scabbard tip with rivets like that. More photos please.
